Interpretation

PIK3CA mutations have been identified in pediatric and adult gliomas including: anaplastic oligodendrogliomas, anaplastic astrocytomas, glioblastoma multiforme, rosette forming glioneuronal tumors and medulloblastomas. PIK3CA mutations provide a mechanism for disrupting the PI3K/Akt pathway.
